Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Two Rivers, Wisconsin, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ZimZalaBim ^talk 15:47, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I am literally the source.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tworiverslocal (talk • contribs)

We require that material used for articles be previously published in reliable sources with editorial staff, a fact-checking policy, a reputation for accuracy, etc. "This is stuff I know", "I was there", "I live(d) there" and the like are not independently-published, reliable sources and thus cannot be used in articles. Even though as a cheesehead you're obviously more likely to be reliable than some random F.I.B., yooper or gopher, we can't just take your word for it. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:58, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
